Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60S
The AirTAC Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60S is a genuine double-acting double-rod aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm stroke. A rod exits both end covers, so extend and retract force are EQUAL — about 1458 N each way at 0.5 MPa. Fixed rubber bumper.

About the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60S
The AirTAC MBLD63X60S is a double-acting, double-rod aluminum mini cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 60mm stroke. A single piston drives a Ø16mm carbon-steel rod out of both end covers, yielding exactly 1457 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG reed or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors to track rod position precisely. It uses a G1/4 port and M14x1.5 rod-end threads.
Because the annulus area is identical on both sides of the piston, push and pull forces are perfectly balanced, preventing the speed disparities seen in single-rod units. The riveted rolling-packed aluminum barrel keeps the frame compact for tight spaces, while the 20um hard-chrome plating protects the rod. The overall length equals A plus twice the stroke, meaning the rear rod protrudes dynamically and requires dedicated clearance to prevent collision. This design is optimal for driving a primary workpiece on one end and a secondary cam, position flag, or synchronized mechanism on the opposite end.

| Model | Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60S |
|---|---|
| Series | MBL aluminum-barrel mini round cylinder (double rod) |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M14×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 500 mm |
Double-rod overall length = A + 2 × stroke — leave clearance for the rear rod. MBLD/MBLCD mounting is Basic / FA / LB only (no SDB, no back-cover code). Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Output Force (Ø63mm, equal both ways)
| Pressure | Extend & retract force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 kgf |
A rod on both piston faces makes the annulus area equal, so extend and retract force (and speed) are the same. Actual usable force is lower due to friction.

Where the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60S Is Used
Printed Circuit Board Stacking
Drives a 60mm stacking motion in PCB assembly machinery, using the 1457 N both-way force to lift and lower delicate panels while a rear-mounted flag triggers a downstream optical sensor.
Textile Loom Tensioning
Balances yarn tension in automated textile looms by pushing and pulling a guide bar with identical 1457 N force, preventing thread snapping during direction reversal.
Semiconductor Wafer Shuttle
Transfers wafer cassettes in a vacuum chamber, utilizing the twin-rod anti-rotation stability to keep the 60mm stroke perfectly guided without lateral twisting.
Is the Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 881 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up is not possible as 63mm is the largest MBLD diameter available. If your cycle demands softer end-of-stroke deceleration than the standard fixed rubber bumper provides, consider the MBLCD variant which features an adjustable air cushion. The MBLD lacks a back-cover or SDB pivot bracket option; mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles. Note that this cylinder does not hold position without live air—the rod drifts when pressure is removed, so an external locking device is required for strict positioning.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Equal force both ways at your pressure
- ✓ Rear-rod clearance (length = A + 2 × stroke)
- ✓ Mounting: Basic / FA / LB only
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — add a guide on long strokes
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Leave clearance for the rear rod (length = A + 2 × stroke).
- check Avoid side load; add an external guide on long strokes.
- check Mounting: Basic / FA flange / LB foot (no SDB, no back-cover code).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLD Dual Axis Type Mini Cylinder MBLD63X60S FAQ
Because a rod exits both ends, the effective piston area is equal on both sides. The force is 1457 N at 0.5 MPa and 2040 N at 0.7 MPa in both extend and retract directions. The maximum theoretical force is 297 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The twin-rod design ensures equal push/pull force and speed, allowing a secondary cam or position flag to be mounted on the rear rod. The -S code denotes a built-in magnet compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, and EMSG (electronic) sensor switches for end-position detection.
